Best fix for Greece, Merkel waltzing in at the head of the Wehrmacht.

The way things are going maybe we should start wishing that she instead chose to march in with the Wehrmacht. At least we could eventually liberate ourselves that way - we'd be able to see what's the path out of the tunnel (!) instead of a bottomless pit of middle-ground sloppy "solutions" that both the IMF & EU can bennefit from but further sink us in the endless abyss by keeping us in a always barely alive - always risky for investment zombie situation while always blamming us for everything and destroying the image of our country.

While the Greeks May get too much blame, they also need to stop blaming others, especially Germany. Greeks don't pay enough tax and do not work enough, so they have to borrow to support the socialist system they riot to protect.

Well,
You don't reduce a structural Deficit by 12 per cent points in just three years by doing nothing.
to put this in perspective,
Goldman Sachs says the maximum tolerable reduction pace was 2 in one year,
and germany had been celebrated in the past for reductions by 1 p.a..

not the leftist rag of der Spiegel that dominates international media in the writing of that stuff.

I agree with Eudemonia here..... and you sir are talking through your backside.

The western media are full of BS about Greece and the Greeks, reports are scurrilous and contradictory at best.

Greece's reputation is under attack not through any fault of the Greeks themselves, but the actions of their criminally corrupt politicians, so lauded by the west for decades.

The ordinary Greeks pay their taxes and national insurance like most people, and they are hard working. Those that do not pay their taxes are the ones wined and dined by the politicians of Washington, London, Paris and Berlin.

It is hypocritical to blame the Greek people for their stupidity, they are no more responsible for that than the Irish or the Spaniards.

I don't want to sound like Petera, but the fault lies entirely with the banksters and their hidden agenda.

The world needs more idiots like me, all the others think they are clever.
